Manly Pursuits by Richard Beard
In the summer of 2005, Richard Beard travelled to Australia and took on the locals at bowls, shooting, golf, swimming, surfing, running, and trivia, finding out why they're so good and if they really are invincible. This work mixes travel, sport, and history since the First Fleet.
Richard Beard is the author of four critically acclaimed novels, X20, Damascus, The Cartoonist and Dry Bones, and one work of non-fiction, Muddied Oafs. He won an Arts Council of England in 1997, and Damascus was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1999. Muddied Oafs, his journey round all the rugby clubs he has ever played for, was described by Frank Keating as 'the book rugby has been waiting for'.
